What is required to replicate DNA?
A
Temperature of 37
B
Free nucleotides carrying A, C, G and T bases
C
Plasmids
D
Endonuclease
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As DNA polymerase makes its way down the unwound DNA strand, it relies upon the pool of free-floating nucleotides surrounding the existing strand to build the new strand.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogen bonds between the base portions of the nucleotides hold the two chains together (Figure 4-3). As we saw in Chapter 2 (Panel 2-6, pp. 120-121), nucleotides are composed of a five-carbon sugar to which are attached one or more phosphate groups and a nitrogen-containing base.
